I just drove my ZLE for about 6 hours today. Backroads, highway, and city.
I didn’t wanna get out but I had to so I could go to work. It is an absolute beast and sooo fun to pilot. I really enjoy the ride too.

what are those big black things sticking out on the front sides of the ZL1 1LE? I'm sure they have a purpose but my God are they ugly. I'd take the ZL1 just to not have those wings sticking out on the sides.

What years? 2017 to 2019?

You mean the 19 ZL1 or ZL1-1LE ?

The 2017/18 ZL1 seats don't recline much?

Yes it’s not a Cadillac it’s a sports car, and a bad ass one at that. With that said I would go with a A10 ZLE for drag racing. Roll racing and track days the 6 speed will do just fine. Me myself went with the ZLE 6 speed because it’s just So damn fun. I literally get people waving or flagging me down every time I take the car out. Not taking anything away from a ZL1 as it too is a bad ass car but every time you see a
ZLE you will wish you got it. Coming from a GS Corvette I was worried about being disappointed but the Camaro is in a class of its own. Chevy really did a heck of a job with this car.
PS. Even my wife and 8 year are old
Alway commont on how
Nice the car ride. They never said a word in my other cars. Only thing my daughter does no like it some spirited driving. She gets very
Nervous easily in this car so I have to be very mindful when driving. I think it’s just one with athe road and has you so connected.

Agreed especially with a set of Michelin’s for the road.

I’m shopping for a set myself. Can you tell me who you went with?

I will probably sell my Z/28 because the harsh ride is harsh.

I'm looking at a 2017/18/19 ZL1 A10 (Auto).

My Zl1-1LE is substantially harsher than my z/28. Most noticeable once you hit the bump stop but the car in general is bouncey (the z/28 is not unless its a big imperfection).

The zl1-1LE isn't bad unless you have passengers then it sucks. I'm glad my son puts up with it on 3 hour car rides without getting car sick

It's been a few years but I remembered the Z28 being quite a bit harsher. I don't the ZLE to be bad at all unless you hit something major (there's one spot on I75 near me where the road transitions to a bridge that throws me out of the seat - but that happens in every stiffly sprung track car I own).

I've driven the car on the street quite a bit so far, I actually find it to be a suitable DD.

Granted I don't live in an area with completely terrible roads.

Very easy!

Zl1, non 1/LE for ride quality and choice to dampen suspension or ride comfort.
Manual to actually drive your car not be driven.
Plus regular Zl1 has the nicest wheels I have ever seen from the manufacturer out of any car.

Don't forget about that wing man. God I personally hate the look of that thing.

Thankfully Chevy didn’t add aero for looks but for functionality instead.

Still loving my ZLE, I live about 2 minutes from Bandimere speedway (drag strip at 5800ft above sea level) so I took it out yesterday for grins to see what it could do on the strip. Certainly attracted a lot of attention, 1 of only 2 ZL1's at the test and tune event and the only 1LE.

That said, my driving leaves a lot to be desired. Never figured out how to launch it properly (plus it's an M6), so my times were all over the place. Other ZL1 guy without the aero drag and an A10 put down an 11.7 I think.

My best time was a 12.5 @ 116MPH with a 2.1X 60ft time lol. Not my best work.

I think we all need to understand where we live to take the ZLE's ride into consideration. As someone who lives in the NE US, the roads are absolute garbage.

If someone lives in the South, they are bound to have a better experience as snowfall / ice melts etc. aren't an issue.
